What does a local breakfast look like in Prague?
A proper Czech breakfast is built around open-faced sandwiches called chlebíčky: slices of white bread topped with potato salad, sliced meats, hard-boiled egg, pickles, and a smear of butter or mayonnaise. You find them pre-assembled in the morning at pekárny (bakeries) and potraviny (small grocery stores) across every neighborhood. Pair one with a párek v rohlíku, a steamed frankfurter stuffed into a hollow roll, if you want something warm and handheld. Coffee is traditionally instant or a moka-pot brew at home, though espresso-based drinks are standard now at any decent café. Locals eat quickly and standing up, often grabbing food from a bakery counter rather than sitting down. Eska in Karlín and Místo in Vinohrady both serve more composed morning menus that bridge Czech ingredients with contemporary technique, if you want something table-service. Budget roughly 80-150 CZK for a solid street-level breakfast, less if you stay in a neighborhood potraviny.
